British Airways UK back to top About British Airways British Airways, also commonly known as BA, was founded in 1973 and comprises the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom. The airline has two hubs strategically situated in London Heathrow and Gatwick airports. British Airways is the largest airline in the United Kingdom in terms of flight size and the second largest when measured by passengers carried, the first being easyJet in this case. The airline is also the second largest airline in Europe, after Air France . British Airways Plc and a number of subsidiaries make up the British Airways Group, formed in 1972. British Airways has many airline partners and codeshare agreements. In addition, being a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance has allowed British Airways to collectively serve more than 600 destinations worldwide. Finally, following the merger of British Airways and Spanish airline Iberia in January 2011, one of the world's largest airline groups was formed, the International Airlines Group, IAG. Online check-in The airline offers four different ways to check-in. Passengers with a British Airways booking can check-in online from 24 hours prior to scheduled flight departure and print out their boarding pass.

Travellers may also check-in using the British Airways mobile app then download their boarding pass on their mobile. Alternatively, it is possible to check-in and print out boarding passes at the airport kiosks or at the airport check-in desk. Those with hand luggage can proceed directly to airport security whilst passengers with checked baggage need to pass by the bag drop desk. Hand luggage allowance On BA flights passengers are entitled to one item of hand luggage in addition to a laptop case or handbag. The cabin baggage must weigh up to 23kg and not measure more than 56cm x 45cm x 25 cm. Similarly, handbags and laptop cases must not exceed the dimensions of 45cm x 36cm x 20cm. Checked baggage allowance The British Airways checked baggage allowance varies in accordance with the passengers' class of travel as follows: Economy Class (UK Domestic, Euro Traveller, World Traveller, Eco) - 1 item of checked baggage weighing a max 23kg. Premium Economy Class (World Traveller Plus, Prem Plus) - 2 items of checked baggage weighing a maximum 23kg each.

Business and First Class: Club Europe members are entitled to 2 items of checked baggage weighing a maximum 32kg each whilst Club World. Club World London City, Biz Bed and First members are allowed 3 checked bags weighing 23kg each. Additional allowances apply for frequent flyers and there are exceptions on flights to Brazil, and flights to and from Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. With a British Airways booking different checked baggage allowances also apply to connecting journeys originating in Saudi Arabia going to the USA, Bermuda or Canada as well as connecting journeys between India, the USA, Bermuda and Canada. Airline information Outlook For London City Airport (LCY) - Airliners.net Airliners.net #1 Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:01 pm In recent years London City Airport ( LCY ) has seen passenger growth from 2.4m in 2006 to 3.0m in 2012, a CAGR of c. +4%.

In the past few years we have seen the recent increases in service such as inter alia: (i) British Airways' London City service; (ii) increased CityJet presence offering a greater range of European and domestic routes; (iii) the introduction of more frequent SWISS services to GVA and ZRH ; and (iv) British Airways making a base there for its Cityflyer and associated Embraer fleet. As per the 2006 Masterplan they were supposed to achieve 3.5m passengers per annum by 2015. However, this appears overly-lofty given that they only managed 3.0m in 2012 and their passenger growth appears very closely correlated to UK GDP, the short-term outlook of which appears sluggish at best. Nevertheless, the airport seems to be upgrading its infrastructure with a new Western pier featuring new gate and lounge facilities and accommodating Bombardier CSeries -sized aircraft from 2016. LCY also seems to have capacity to continue to act as spillover given the lack of London-area runway policy from this and most likely subsequent governments.

What's happening with BA 's LCY - JFK service given I've seen that the Shannon stopvover will be ceasing due to US immigration issues ? It would be interesting to hear the views of forum members with regards to the outlook for LCY . Anyone can fly, only the best Soar. #4 Sun Feb 10, 2013 1:49 pm They are going to focus on increasing the average aircraft size, most likely by increasing the minimum passenger service charge upwards towards the 50-70 seat mark, which in turn will drive passenger numbers. To do this they need more than just four new stands and ideally a parallel taxiway, hence the significant expansion and stand replacement planned. Only the four new stands can accommodate the next generation of aircraft (C Series, E-Jet NG etc...), so it really is essential that they get these built. Aside of operating costs, the C Series looks to have up to double the ERJ 190's useful range from LCY , although no doubt the next gen E-Jets will also see major improvements, so these are the aircraft of the future and need to be accommodated.

They will also be quieter which should allow for more physical movements using LCY 's quota system. Dan Quoting skywaymanaz ( Reply 2 ): The rumor was the hours were getting cut for US Customs at SNN from 7a-7p to 7a-4p. That would affect the second LCY - SNN - JFK flight of the day. I can't seem to find anything definitive on it one way or the other but they still seem to be on longer scheduled for now The reduced USCBP work hours have been in effect from the beginning of the winter season (end of October) and flight BA3 still operates as normal. I don't know if passengers are still made disembark at SNN or not (presumably not as it is solely a refuelling stop now). The stopover time is shorter than BA1 though for obvious reasons. Wouldn´t a stop in DUB make sense despite the possibly slightly longer ground time there? Can´t imagine the added (2nd leg) distance would make it a no-go ... ... or do US Customs at DUB finish work early as well ? DUB preclearance also closes 16:00 too, if not earlier.

Quoting seansasLCY ( Reply 4 ): As far as I know the original plan to build the new pier has been cancelled. The airport is going to invest £15m in the current stands while looking at what they can do to make the airport stands compatible for the C-Series. Very interesting, I had not heard that. The original stands cannot be modified accommodate the CS100 and meet regulations; its tail is too high and will penetrate airspace surfaces, so they must be confident of getting a dispensation. Although I'd love to know how an aircraft with a 35m span is going to self maneuver on a 28m x 40m stand - that will be good to watch! Quoting SInGAPORE_AIR ( Reply 7 ): Thanks - looking at the CSeries order book though no carriers apart from SWISS with 30x seem relevant to LCY . I don't suppose there's any visibility about potential CSeries services exLCY ? I note BA Cityflyer no longer has any aircraft deliveries in the pipeline.

My view is that ultimately CityFlyer will replace both the A318 and ERJs with the CS100, and CS300, if it proves to be capable of LCY operations. Quoting phofmannsair ( Reply 9 ): By the way, does anyone have any new about this new airline? I have heard it mentioned that they are one of the parties interested in CityJet - not from one of my more reliable sources though, so take it with a pinch of salt.

I believe some form of expansion will take place but they are looking at how to best use the space and at least additional cost. LCY have regular meetings with Bombardier regarding the C-Series so I would imagine a solution will be found.

#14 Sun Feb 10, 2013 10:18 pm I've not been to LCY , yet, so I don't have an image of how big it is or isn't. But, how much room for expansion is there? I ask because I read the other day that BA had to cancel both of the JFK flights due to the blizzard ... there wasn't room for both 318s to park. "British Airways A318 G-EU NB Positions to London Gatwick. February 8, 2013 British Airways A318 G-EU NB positioned London City – London Gatwick this afternoon as BA9158. With both A318s at London City due to the New York weather cancellations today, space was required at London City for the afternoon peak." The aircraft returned to LCY late this afternoon. Worked for WestAir, Apollo Airways, Desert Pacific, Western, AirCal and American Airlines (Retired) Quoting Wingtips56 ( Reply 13 ): I've not been to LCY , yet, so I don't have an image of how big it is or isn't.

But, how much room for expansion is there? Any future expansion would involve further building over part of the dock. The proposals can be seen here This page on the website states that "The airport is now working on a new project proposal – the City Airport Development Programme (link to CADP copy) – which builds on the ASRP and provides the enhanced facilities that will allow LCY to maintain its position as the business traveller’s airport of choice" These are the new plans which haven't yet been made clear. #16 Sun Feb 10, 2013 10:47 pm Much will depend on the fate of Cityjet. If they disappear, LCY is heading towards a risky BA Cityflyer monopoly. All other of the few airlines serving LCY - with the exception of Swiss with three destinations - only have a token presence nowadays with just one route (Skywork, Luxair, Blue Islands, Lufthansa, Alitalia). My feeling is that given the fact that flights from LCY are more expensive than from other LON airports, the airport has reached its peak. A lot of destinations have been tried in the past three or so years but were unprofitable.

Another issue is that LCY traditionally had a strong focus on shorter cross-channel routes. These have already disappeared (e.g. BRU ) or are under pressure from the High Speed Trains ( AMS , RTM , ANR , PAR). This page on the website states that "The airport is now working on a new project proposal – the City Airport Development Programme (link to CADP copy) – which builds on the ASRP and provides the enhanced facilities that will allow LCY to maintain its position as the business traveller’s airport of choice" These are the new plans which haven't yet been made clear. The latter are the plans I was aware of, which is for seven new stands and essentially a new terminal building to handle the increased passenger throughput. Stand wise, not much has changed really from the original replacement program plan: This is very interesting! Do they have a website already? Not that I am aware of. Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 15 ): My feeling is that given the fact that flights from LCY are more expensive than from other LON airports, the airport has reached its peak. A lot of destinations have been tried in the past three or so years but were unprofitable.

The expense depends on the individual airline's model, the key is that the operation must be managed correctly for the type of airport LCY is. Get that wrong and it all goes wrong much more quickly than at a regular airport. I don't think the destination turnover is abnormal though. Dan What's happening with BA 's LCY - JFK service given I've seen that the Shannon stopvover will be ceasing due to US immigration issues ? Continues as normal with BA003 clearing customs and immigration at JFK . Quoting PlymSpotter ( Reply 10 ): its tail is too high and will penetrate airspace surfaces, What does this mean? 3000ft on QNH is the minimum altitude before you can have any impact on Heathrow inbounds. Is the fin really that big? Blimey, Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 15 ): My feeling is that given the fact that flights from LCY are more expensive than from other LON airports, the airport has reached its peak. They have exchanged smaller niche flights for more mainstream destinations.

Growth in recent years has been driven by BA who have gone from ten RJ100s on set up to 6 ER7s and 8 ER9s, a much more capable fleet. Add in two based mainline A318s and you see why the little guys moved out. It's certainly not peaked, the numbers do not back that up. However, every major legacy has had a go. SAS tried and failed with ARN and CPH, OS tried and failed with VIE, LH tried DUS, HAM, STR MUC etc etc leaving only FRA remaining. We have also seen Darwn on Basle, EuroManx on IOM, Aer Arann also on IOM BA on DUB, CPH, LYS, MXP, FlyBabboo on Geneva and WAW and Air Southwest on PLH/NQY. All been and gone in recent years. The key growth is on BA routes with bigger aircraft and longer jaunts to the sun, the survival or otherwise of WX will be a deciding factor in whether this continues.

Excerpt from BA website since last October: Arriving at New York JFK Clearing US immigration at Shannon means that you bypass US Immigration and Customs at JFK .* Simply follow the signs to exit the airport, collecting any bags you have checked in from the domestic baggage hall on the way and head straight into New York. *From 28 October 2012 this service will be available on flight BA001 only. Quoting phofmannsair ( Reply 9 ): You forgot to add PrivatAir in that list. They ordered 5 (+5 options) CS100 Bombardier press release and they're rumoured to operate those aircraft on behalf of Odyssey (new airline which would be based in LCY ) Odyssey Beat me to it !

BBD have stated that the CS100 (but not the CS300) will be certified for LCY 'out of the box' and also for LCY - JFK n/s ETOPS. I'd be shocked if you didn't see Privat Air (operating for Odyssey) move into LCY - JFK flights. As well, in all-J config, the CS100 can carry either 44 or 48 pax, vs BA A318s 32. My view is that ultimately CityFlyer will replace both the A318 and ERJs with the CS100, and CS300, if it proves to be capable of LCY operations. That seems a reasonable projection to me. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. What does this mean? 3000ft on QNH is the minimum altitude before you can have any impact on Heathrow inbounds. Is the fin really that big? Blimey, Yeah it's 3,001ft - I mean what are the chances But seriously, the airspace surface it penetrates is the transitional surface.

This is essentially a triangular wedge which begins from the edge of the clearway (FYI - think of the clearway as a 150m wide strip along the length of the runway, bisected by the centreline down its middle) and rises vertically away from the runway at one of two gradients; 1 in 5 for a runway with a non precision instrument approach and 1 in 7 for a runway with a precision instrument approach, of which LCY falls into the latter. This means the 'tailroom' at the front of LCY 's original stands is 4.9m and 8.9m at the back, nearest the terminal. That's pretty tight even for the 146/RJ, or at least it would be if there wasn't a dispensation on meeting this requirement due to the relevant gradient being 1 in 6 when LCY was built. So the headroom at the back of the stands is actually 10.3m, which is pretty much bang on the height of an ERJ 190 - the tallest aircraft allowed on the original stands, even then I think there may be a dispensation involved - but LCY is full of dispensations.

So the 11.5m high CS100 and 12.5m high A318 can (wingspan issues aside) only use the new line of stands to the east, where the clearance is 8.2m at the front and 14.8m at the back, hence why aircraft still have to park nose out. Another headache for LCY will be the NG E-Jets, which are going to be higher to accommodate the new engines. The 170NG should still fit on the original stands, unless they really do increase the span, but the 190NG won't. Dan #25 Mon Feb 11, 2013 10:58 am Ah that makes sense. I know that the plans published had an option to cover the King George V dock and put in a proper nose in parking finger on the South side of the extension. It looked quite impressive and got around the size constraints, indeed I think the reason they lost Stand 11 was spacing out the other ten to wedge in the ER9s properly.

Having to taxi off stand and try a second and third attempt to park is not as rare as it once was due to the larger aircraft. In the best British traditions, the facility is now handing aircraft it was in no way designed or intended for. Dash 7 anyone? Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 15 ): Another issue is that LCY traditionally had a strong focus on shorter cross-channel routes. These have already disappeared (e.g. BRU ) or are under pressure from the High Speed Trains ( AMS , RTM , ANR , PAR). As for AMS and RTM , those destinations are not affected at all by the high speeds trains due to the simple fact that it takes just to much time to get to the station in Brussels in order to catch the train to London. And a direct train from AMS via RTM to London is not planned yet. but even still i think to overall travel time by train is much more than traveling by air to LCY . Quoting LH707330 ( Reply 23 ): Quoting connies4ever (Reply 20): Beat me to it !

BBD have stated that the CS100 (but not the CS300) will be certified for LCY 'out of the box' and also for LCY - JFK n/s ETOPS. Why would the CS300 be harder to certify? Can it not make the runway with a profitable payload? Basically runway requirements, I believe. LCY runway is about 1,300 m. CS100 needs about 400m less runway than the CS300, as it is around 5,000 kg lighter (from the link: #Specifications). I note that the runway requirements given actually exceed LCY 's runway length at MTOW, however, I don't have any info on the date of the specs given and whether or nor takeoffélanding performance has been improved. So either the CS100 t/o performance has been improved, or it will be certified at a restricted t/o weight. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Quoting LH707330 ( Reply 23 ): Why would the CS300 be harder to certify? Can it not make the runway with a profitable payload?

Aside of the runway length as mentioned by connies4ever, the aircraft needs to fly the 5.5 degree glideslope and maintain it's approach speed - that could well require additional modifications. On routes Quoting connies4ever ( Reply 27 ): I note that the runway requirements given actually exceed LCY 's runway length at MTOW, however, I don't have any info on the date of the specs given and whether or nor takeoffélanding performance has been improved. MTOW is key, the proposed LCY - JFK flights would essentially trade payload for range off the runway. Dan Quoting airbazar ( Reply 29 ): Quoting connies4ever (Reply 27): So either the CS100 t/o performance has been improved, or it will be certified at a restricted t/o weight. But in an all J config (and likely with little luggage underneath), wouldn't the aircraft be well below MTOW? Should be, I would think. But the full Monty J-class product will be fairly heavy on a per seat basis. Plus the galley kit (real China, for example).

One thing that I have thought about, BA 's service clears US customs at SNN , and pax deplane in JFK as domestic arrivals, collect their luggage, and get into their Town Cars (if they can afford the flight, they can afford the limo). A n/s service to JFK would not have pre-cleared, basically negating the time advantage. Unless USCBP was installed right at LCY . Possible ? Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Quoting skipness1E ( Reply 18 ): It's certainly not peaked, the numbers do not back that up. What I meant to say is that the traditional market for LCY has sort of peaked, high frequency services to major airports on the continent. Both AF and BA have diversified by adding flights to leisure destinations (AF, BA ) and to tertiary markets (AF). Quoting thijs1984 ( Reply 26 ): As for AMS and RTM , those destinations are not affected at all by the high speeds trains due to the simple fact that it takes just to much time to get to the station in Brussels in order to catch the train to London.

Deutsche Bahn has announced plans to operate ICE highspeed trains from Amsterdam via Rotterdam and Brussels to London. Travel time from Amsterdam downtowon to London downtown will be 4hrs, from Rotterdam downtown to London downtown 3hrs. They will also offer direct trains from Frankfurt and Cologne, two coupled train sets will split in Brussels to Amsterdam and Frankfurt. Deutsche Bahn has already odered newly build ICE 3 (class 407) trains for those services. Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 31 ): A downtown-downtown travel time of 3 or 4 hours on a comfortable high speed train with working areas, wifi etc. is, imho, competitive to flights from AMS or RTM to LCY . We shall see. I disagree. When it comes to large urban areas, being delivered to a station in the very heart of the city is often a disadvantage. In LCY 's case its catchment area is the Docklands (Canary Wharf), East London and beyond, not ideal for reaching the London terminus, unless they plan on stopping ICE trains at Stratford, but I thought that idea had been shelved.

Also the frequency is low, there is no doubt the frequent Eurostar is a better alternative to Brussels and Paris, but at three trains a day and likely similar prices you may not find many people switching. Dan Tue Feb 12, 2013 12:23 am With Eurostar entering the AMS / RTM -LON market, frequency will be much more competitive. To give you an example, the Thalys highspeed trains have killed all flights between Cologne and Paris. It involves a similar travel time as AMS -LON. The key, in my experience, is a direct service without the need to change trains. Once that is guaranteed, it becomes really attractive. The overall travel experience simply is much better because you can work for, say, 3,5 hours of the 4, make calls, have wifi all the time. Air travel is much more divided into small sections, resulting in a lot of wasted time. Quoting AIR MALTA ( Reply 1 ): ARN is so so as the route is not operating in July and August.

When I was a regular traveller to Sweden the best part of twenty years ago getting around was more problematic in July and August as SK (and at that time Linjeflyg amongst others) operated a significantly reduced service in the summer holiday period. So, unless things have changed, there may not be too much significance in this. Also note that BA significantly reduce their LCY - SNN - JFK - LCY schedules in August. They only operate BA003/04 on Sundays instead of six days a week. So it is not just Swedish demand for flights to and from LCY that falls significantly at that time of the year. One of the future developments for LCY is start-up Norwegian airline, FlyNonstop. It is due to start a KRS- LCY service on 23 April. But to me it seems a little ambitious to operate a six-times-a-week flight on this route with the population of Kristiansand only being around 80,000. Recognise that BA CityFlyer failed on the LCY - CPH route where Copenhagen has a population 15 times larger at around 1.2 million. However KRS have one advantage over CPH .

It has no direct service to any other LON airport. Nevertheless FlyNonstop plan to fly a 100 seat E190 on the route. So they will be offering sufficient seats to fly around 40 per cent of the total Kristiansand population to and from LCY every year Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 35 ): The overall travel experience simply is much better because you can work for, say, 3,5 hours of the 4, make calls, have wifi all the time. Air travel is much more divided into small sections, resulting in a lot of wasted time. That might be your opinion, but it's by no means representative of the market from LCY , which is predominantly business travelers who use the airport because of it's very short check in times and its proximity to the city of London. I know many people who use LCY - AMS , RTM , ORY etc... because they can rely on travelling from office to office/meeting room in 2.5 hours by air.

Say they took the train to AMS instead, include the 30 minutes travel/waiting at either end and you have a 10 hour round trip compared to 5 on the plane - that is anything but appealing to the traveler LCY caters for and, considering growth, is not going to make a dent on these markets. The only potential I see for a reduction in traffic is from time insensitive travelers on lower yielding routes into LTN / STN or LGW , especially if the train is competitive on price. Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 38 ): Whereever high speed trains have entered the scene, air traffic has suffered. Look at the domestic market in France, look at certain routes within Germany or the LON-PAR/ BRU market. As these networks illustrate, there is a cut off point of around 3 hours, exceed this travel time and rail's attractiveness decreases significantly. There is also the obvious fact that the UK is an island, and that does make a big difference to travel habits - i.e. driving is not favorable. Quoting vfw614 ( Reply 38 ): I think we are talking about the future while you are talking about the presence. Things will change.

The only thing which will change is that LCY 's throughput will keep increasing. In addition to the present, there are enough upcoming and growing markets available to LCY to keep them in growth until they are at capacity. Dan Quoting connies4ever ( Reply 43 ): Addition to my Reply 20 in this thread, I'd shocked if Privat Air/Odyssey didn't investigate LCY to ME destinations ( JED / RUH / DHA / DOH /KWI come to mind). There could be a decent business for those travelling J who don't want to mix with the plebes. I think they would be swamped by being way too close to LHR , there is no proper premium lounge facility at LCY , nor are there plans to introduce any. The BA long haul operation is very niche connecting two financial centres in Canary Wharf and NYC. The same business driver does not exist for points East. Lets face it, BA , Saudia, QR and KU do it way better from LHR with the full First Class treatment and premier lounge facilities. It would be like Maxjet and Silverjet al over again.

I wonder just how many of you guys have ever clapped eyes on LCY as you're describing an airport and a market I barely recognise and I live a stones throw away. Wed Feb 13, 2013 5:37 am Quote: The reduced USCBP work hours have been in effect from the beginning of the winter season (end of October) and flight BA3 still operates as normal. I don't know if passengers are still made disembark at SNN or not (presumably not as it is solely a refuelling stop now). The stopover time is shorter than BA1 though for obvious reasons. Does this mean that ONE flight from SNN enters the US on the cleared side, while the second one (which arrives/leaves SNN after the US customs is closed) enters the US like a regular international (not pre-cleared) flight? If so, it must be confusing on the US side to know which aircraft must be cleared and which need not be, as it wouldn't be based on the port of departure, rather the port and time of departure.

#48 Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:36 am Just noted on the LCY website that they are listing the new Kristiansand service as "Kjevik KRS". I guess a lot of people have no idea where Kristiansand is, but I am sure that nobody outside the immediate vicinty of Kristiansand knows what or where "Kjevik" is. Maybe they are using "Kjevik" to avoid mix-ups with Kristianstad in Sweden, but from a marketing point of view they are certainly not helping the route.

Well, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion As far as I see it, LCY has always had a stronger focus on inbound traffic than on outbound traffic and this is their main customer base - not so much the Canary Wharf suits you are describing and know (Canary Wharf has 100.000 employees which can hardly keep an airport with 3m pax a year alive on their own). And people traveling inbound are not going from a workplace at Canary Wharf to an airport lounge at AMS , but from an office miles away from the departure airport to a place somewhere in Central or East London. That said, they will never make it in 2.5 hours door to door by flying into/out of LCY - going from their departure point to Schiphol, clear check-in and immigration, walk to the departure gate, taxi to the Polderbaan, be in flight etc. The story is a little bit different at smaller airports such as RTM or ANR ; but these have already seen a reduction of LCY flights - I remember times when RTM had 11 or 12 daily depatures to LCY whereas now it has 7.

ANR used to have 7, they now have a max. of five. I am not saying that HSR will wipe out all these routes, but it will have an impact.

I wonder just how many of you guys have ever clapped eyes on LCY as you're describing an airport and a market I barely recognise and I live a stones throw away. No doubt the above firms out of LHR can offer a superior service than what can be done from LCY , but I'm talking about J, not F. Given the differential in fares, easier to justify to management, as well as logistically since close to Canary Wharf. Have clapped eyes on LCY -- on approach to LHR ...Quite a different look from when I lived in London in the 70s ! Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Quoting RayChuang ( Reply 36 ): In the end, the opening of the High Speed 1 line between Folkestone and London St. Pancras (with a top speed to 186 mph) has pretty much limited the usefulness of LCY . This especially with more and more direct rail service from London St. Pancras to various destinations in continental Europe from Eurostar and soon Deutsche Bahn. Do you realise the journey time from Canary Wharf to St Pancras to catch Eurostar ? By the time a financier has reached the concourse at St Pancras, his colleague who is flying is already in the air. As to the various destinations in Europe, have any in addition to Paris and Brussels ever been announced ? Airline, Airport, and Travel Abbreviations - Air Travel Forum - TripAdvisor Airline, Airport, and Travel Abbreviations - Air Travel Forum Review a place you’ve visited JOIN for Air Travel, Business Travel Level Airline, Airport, and Travel Abbreviations Dec 16, 2012, 11:14 AM Let's see if we can put together a little guide for abbreviations we use in travel.

If it is good, then I'll make it into a Top Question for the site. In a couple threads recently, people have puzzled over abbreviations. Airports... Abbreviations are used a lot in air travel. More and more in my travels I see airports making use of their code in their signage. For example, there's a big welcome to YYC sign on the road into the airport in Calgary. Most everybody, even those who do not travel know what LAX (said as letters) is. Sometimes the airport code becomes an abbreviation for the city... "I just spent a week in SFO (pronounced as a word... Sphowe)." Airports actually have a couple codes each one is an IATA airport code which is the typical three-letter code you see mentioned. The other is the 4-letter code that is used by controllers, some flight look-up websites (flightaware) and many smaller airports that don't have regularly scheduled air service. The four-letter codes' first letter is consistent within a country... K in the US, E in the UK, C for Canada.

But other than that the airport codes between the 3 and 4-letter systems can vary dramatically, and the popular referencing and bag tags go with the 3-letter IATA system, so that is what I'll talk about. Usually the airport code comes from the name of its location... SEA for Seattle , DAL for Dallas (Love Field), DFW for Dallas-Fort Worth, BOS for Boston , HND for Haneda, KUL for Kuala Lumpur , FRA for Frankfurt , PER, ADL, and SYD for Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney, etc., but it sometimes isn't easy, or apparently logical. The one that should stick out in that short example list is HND. Where the heck is Haneda? It is Tokyo International Airport and is on the other side of Tokyo from Narita (NRT)... The other international airport in Tokyo. So yes, sometimes the locality the airport code refers to is a suburb, neighboring city, or region within the bigger city, and these can be tricky, but this is why CGK is Jakarta , Sao Paolo is GRU, and Seoul is ICN. But most commonly the code has something to do with the location name.

CDG ( Paris ), TYS (Knoxville), and JFK ( New York ) are examples of airport names, named after people, that have been used for the code. OGG ( Maui ) is one of the rare beasts in which the airport code itself was named after a person (a pilot in this case). In the US you aren't going to find any commercial IATA codes beginning with N, K. or W as they are reserved by the government. So that means nEWaRk is EWR and New Orleans is MSY (named after the old local area name). Some cities try to organize things a bit... London has Heathrow, Gatwick, and London City, LHR, LGW, and LCY respectively but things quickly degrade as you move outward to the secondary airports of STN (Stanstead), Sometimes a country tries to organize things. Canada's major airports all begin with Y, and some, as with YYZ ( Toronto ) or YUL ( Montreal ) you just have to remember. Most have at least one letter if not two of the city name in the code YVR ( Vancouver ), YYC (Calgary), YHM (Hamilton), but some are obvious government bureaucrat conceived codes...

Why, why, why, would anyone go to Mont Joli, Quebec (YYY)? (Been there, the Gaspe Peninsula is a great place) But this doesn't mean that every code beginning with Y is a place in Canada (they just wish they were ;-) ). So it can take a while to figure out what people are talking about when using airport codes. In the mean time, there are plenty of resources available such as the following website, Google Map of London, United Kingdom - Nations Online Project ___ Satellite View and Map of City of London, UK Skyline of UK's capital, seen from Bermondsey banks of the Thames with the Tower Bridge, London, UK. About London Satellite view is showing London, largest urban area in the UK, the capital of England and of the United Kingdom . Great Britain's largest city since the 1st century is located in the south-eastern part on the island of Great Britain at Thames river. London city is one of the world's leading business and financial centers, it is an Alpha world city because of its worldwide influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts. Located around London are six major international airports, it was, until recently, the largest aviation hub in the world.

Greater London has a population of about 8.6 million inhabitants, more than 13.6 million live in its urban zone (2013). Spoken language is predominantly British English. In the UK's EU referendum on 23rd June 2016, London voted 62% to remain. Central London seen from a hot air balloon, with River Thames, the Gherkin, the Shard, and London Bridge station. Image: Daniel Chapma The city is home to some world-famous buildings and places like the Tower Bridge , the Palace of Westminster , seat of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the British monarch since 1952, Downing Street, official residences of two of the most senior British cabinet ministers, and Trafalgar Square with Nelson's Column, the tourist attraction in central London. The city is also UK's center of arts and culture represented for instance by the British Museum, the museum of human history and culture, the National Gallery, the art museum on Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern, Britain's national gallery of international modern art; and the British Library, the national library of the United Kingdom.

The annotated map below shows London's most famous attractions. London is in Lonely Planet’s list of Best in Travel : Top 10 cities for 2012. The city is described as: "London is going for the knock-out blow in 2012. The Olympics are riding into town and a whole swath of the capital is being transformed in the process. London’s east will be thrust into the spotlight but the rest of the capital will be rolling out the red carpet too. Seeing Tower Bridge lift its bascules to let a tall ship pass beneath is all stately grace, as opposed to your first rush-hour trip on the tube, getting up close and personal with strangers of every colour, creed and nationality. Mind the gap! Whoever you cheer for, you won’t be alone in this most international of cities". In 2012 London was host to the XXX Olympiad, the Summer Olympic Games 2012 (The 2016 Summer Olympics will be in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil ). Just zoom in (+) to see Buckingham Palace.
